Covering an overall area of 4,250 square meters, the soon-to be open theme park, is inspired by the some of the world’s most exciting Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) concepts.

Over 60 different experiences combine in TEKZONE to create an innovative, state-of-the-art entertainment experience for every member of the family from kids and toddlers to adults.

TEKZONE will debut exclusive attractions and rides that are being introduced into the Middle East, including an interactive climbing wall, digital escape rooms with different themes, and many exciting VR and popular games. Technology and innovation is at the heart of the brand; TEKZONE will be the first destination in the world to introduce VR Bumper Cars that will give riders a digitally-enhanced experience whilst they beat their opponents and collect points – all in a safe and fun environment!

TEKZONE will also feature the first VR Finger Coaster in the Middle East, an experience that lets every guest design and ride their own track in a VR simulator roller coaster. Also in Kuwait for the first time is a two-lane Mini Bowling avenue, with augmented reality projected onto the rolled ball. For those looking for some something less active, the two-seater VR cinema is the perfect answer.

Visitors looking for a break can grab a quick bite at Starbucks, Raising Cane’s or the snack stand.
